Our children (ages 10 + 7) had never kayaked before and we were a little apprehensive about having them paddle their own kayaks but they caught on fast + had a blast. It took us four hour to make it down the river with two stop-offs along the way for swimming + snacks. Side note - beware of leaches in the river.

The 5 mile trip took me a little over 2 hours with only a couple of short stops. The second half is takes more paddling if the river is down, so be prepared for that. The Duck River is beautiful.

It is kind of in the middle of nowhere but the prettiest middle of nowhere. There are lot of beautiful fields on the way there. We rented canoes and floated on the shortest route but it was a perfect amount of time. There is a waiting area for those that might not want to participate in the water activities which is great! The staff were really Nice and accommodating. The start of the river is really close to the office which is Nice and once you are done you get picked up in a cool bus anddddd you can also write whatever you want on the bus!! The second best part was seeing the cows from the cow sanctuary bathing in the river! Would 100% go back!

We booked for a family trip of four adults and four kids, paid over the phone and then received the waiver form and directions over email. Payment was made over the phone and the waiver was emailed with an online release form to sign for liability. We met at Jefferson Springs Recreational area which is a cute and clean park. There is ample parking and area to swim in the river / reservoir. The wanter looked brown and green but looked clean enough with many people swimming and tubing. The river is more like a lake so it is slow going and you have to paddle which is good because you can go in either direction. We went to the right down by the bridge and there are rock cliffs to see and an island you can paddle around. All in all it was good clean family fun. $35 per kayak and $50 for a two person kayak.

They texted us in the morning to confirm our reservation then promptly met us at the Jefferson Springs boat ramp. We were quickly outfitted an off to explore. We found lots of wildlife and pristine river banks that we were free to explore as all the land on both sides of the river is public. We spent about 3.5 hours on the water and had quick lunch break in the middle at the great park where the ramp is located that is set up with picnic tables, public restrooms and grills! The Stones River company kept in touch with us and were ready at the end of our rental to promptly collect the kayaks. We would highly recommend this company for your kayak rental needs!

I've camped with them and kayaked and it's a great experience all around! Plenty of parking, then they shuttle you to the starting point of the river. Once they get your boat into the water you make your way back and it's just such a gorgeous way to spend a summer or fall day! Pack a lunch and paddle away! Staff is kind. Fellow canoe-ers and kayak-ers are fun to talk to along the way. I think my only complaint would be that many large groups go and sometimes just sit in the middle of the river in a clump and it can be difficult to get around them. That however, is not Foggy Bottoms fault. If you are looking to get outside and do something active I highly recommend you use FB. They are convenient and a great way to spend your day. Can't wait to come back soon.

Foggy Bottoms is a super cute spot with tons of charm and very friendly staff. We arrived to check in (no reservation) at 10:30am and the staff gave us a very honest warning that water levels were SUPER low. They explained the pain points of canoeing in such low water levels very thoroughly, but despite the warnings, we decided to give a go and I'm so glad we did! Because of the staffs transparency, we knew what to expect and we were prepared to encounter a few spots along the way that gave us a little trouble. All in all, it wasn't bad at all! We spent 6 hours on this 3 hour ride making tons of stops along the way to float in the inter tubes we brought along with us. Had such a great time and can't wait to come back!

It was relaxing & a lot of fun! The other renters were all friendly too! The river was high enough to where we didn't have to get out & walk (we grounded out a time or two) & we even had a couple spots where we picked up some speed!

We had a great time cruising down the river on the boat, and NO peddling is required! The boat fits 16 and we were comfortable with our group of 10. Our guides were awesome, blasted tunes for us and pointed out historical landmarks as we passed them on the river and gave us the history of those points. I looked at booking the larger pontoon saloon also, but ultimately I am VERY glad we went with River Queen instead. The saloon boat was jam packed with 3-4 different groups of 10+ people.

If you are researching the boat club you will see the claims they make about nice fleets, availability, and fun. And guess what? They are ALL TRUE. (When was the last time you got everything you were promised from a business? It's rare people.) We enjoy having a fun, exciting boat every weekend (and during the week too!), it's so nice to not be pigeonholed into one type of boat. Pontoon this week? Sure. Wakeboard and surf next week? Sounds like a plan. And all the toys are included, top of the line surfboards, wakeboards, tubes, you name it. Just keep up with your reservations and you will always get what you want. We have never been lacking a boat when we wanted one. The fleet is very well maintained and the boats are really nice; Mastrcraft, Tige, Supra, etc. The staff is amazing, they are so nice in the office and on the docks! So helpful, patient, and kind. If you enjoy trailering a boat to the crowded boat ramp, putting it in, hoping it starts, leaving early because you need to get it back on the trailer, etc then this isn't for you. If you like to just show up and go, never worrying about maintenance or unscheduled repairs and expenses, then run, don't walk, to the boat club. We have already made memories to last a lifetime with our kids and friends out on the water and can't wait to make some more next year!
